A sign needs to be erected designating the right lane as a right turn only lane, with the second lane being a right turn or go straight lane to alleviate the traffic congestion that clogs this intersection daily. The right lane back up past the previous intersection at Woodson Park while the second lane sits empty and unused. People at the Woodson park light frequently can't cross the intersection because of the back from the beltway. This is a waste of pavement and slow everything down.

This IS the city of Houston. Previously Houston said it was not. However, this area is in annexation. We pay Houston taxes so Houston need to fix this.

Work Order Completed in Infor by 103348 on 2014-05-13T08:40:46.000-05:00 with comments - THIS LOCATION HAS BEEN CONFIRMED NOT TO BE IN THE CITY OF HOUSTON CITY LIMITS AND IS NOT MAINTAINED BY THE CITY OF HOUSTON'S TRAFFIC OPERATIONS DIVISION.

The traffic going south on W. Lake Houston Pkwy needs a second turn lane to turn West on the Sam Houston Pkwy. The traffic in the right lane backs up on W Lake Houston for 2-3 miles, while this 2nd right lane sits empty. The back up is in existence 7 days a week, but the morning time from around 6:45 - 8:30 is the worst because of school traffic.

Most intersections along the beltway have 2 turn lanes; one that is a turn only and another that is a turn or go straight. That is what is needed here. There is ample room for the addition since the traffic is turning onto a 3 lane road.

I submitted this request a while back and it was closed a couple of hours later as "no issue found." Perhaps someone could actually go and observe the intersection before stating something that is false.

This was closed stating being referred to TXDOT, however, I received an email that stated if it was referred to another agency, the updates would still post here. This should remain open so as to provide an update from TXDOT if that is where it should go, although this intersection is in Houston.
